A profound research which combines the fieldwork with the compilation of archivist and bibliographic proofs about The shipyards of Gipuzkoa constitutes the raw material of this study, in wich the job of shipbuilders with traditional methods is discussed in detail. It is a craft speciality wich enjoyed a large tradition in Gipuzkoa, since its timber richness on the coast border, together with the great contingent of shipwrights of wich it disposed, transformed this territory into an important ship producing centre form the Middle Ages.
